I don't expect there'll be much difference between 1 
realserver and 20 realservers. The director does a lookup 
and then does a header rewrite. I expect the table lookup 
will be quick. I would expect the real problem is whether 
you can keep the NICs facing the internet and the 
realservers saturated. If you can do that, I don't think LVS 
will slow down throughput much.

Of course this is all speculation I'm afraid and not 
measurement.
